Synopsis

Ryan Bingham, (George Clooney) may think he's well grounded with a secure job as a corporate downsizing expert, but he finds his life Up In The Air just as he's about to reach his ten millionth frequent flyer mile and land the woman of his dreams.

Content Details

Here is additional information on sex, violence and profanity in Up In The Air...

This well-crafted film, which presents thought provoking messages about human relationships, has the unfortunate inclusion of sexual content and language. An unmarried couple is seen going into a hotel room and preparing to have sex (we briefly see her naked from the rear and he is seen without a shirt). It is implied they have other sexual rendezvous as well. A couple of crude sexual comments are made using slang anatomical terms. Two people break into a school by opening a window with a credit card—no damage is done. A man talks of using a gun after getting fired. A depressed woman threatens to jump off a bridge (it is later revealed that she has died after carrying out this plan). A woman has an extramarital affair. Language includes at least 15 sexual expletives, a couple of other crude names for sex, scatological slang, and terms of deity. Social drinking is portrayed.

Home Video Viewing Alternatives

This movie is based on Walter Kirn’s comic novel of the same name. While the character in this movie may spend all his time in the air, another passenger finds himself permanently grounded when trapped by bureaucracy in The Terminal. A chance meeting at an airport changes the direction of a lonely mans life in Last Chance Harvey.
